Chapter 25
Judy POV
MaximillanVoss thank you, for adding my story to your favorites. Blahblooblah1378 thank you, for following and adding my story to your favorites.
Nick and I are back at work. Aurora is with Alexis and Faye. Knowing they are having a good time. It feels nice to be a refresh for work. Ready to take the cases once again. We have been working hard on the cases. It's nice to take a break and relax. I needed to take a break from the cases. All the victims of the attacker and murder case have been talked to. Finding out what happened to them and what information they had about the killer. Holly can still tell us more. She was lying before when she was talking to me. Knowing she will tell us when she's ready. Nothing that leads to whoever he or she is. That is slowing us down not knowing who this mammal is. Or why the mammal is doing this. Questions that we don't have answers to. At least not yet. Nick and I will figure this out. We will stop whoever this mammal is. We know something about him or her. Wearing a bandana to hide yourself is a good one. Finding out a piece of red bandana was found on other victims as well. We believe we have figured it out.
We are back at the station. Nick told me what happened with the Sharp family. Her mother told him the information that we needed to know. The father wasn't so helpful and I found out the truth. I heard him swear at me and didn't let me in. Not understanding how he could do that to his own family. I have seen it before and I don't like it. What he has done has nothing to do with the case. Other than Now we know something new.
"So what do you think it means?" I ask
"I have no idea but we will figure it out." Nick said, "Let's see what we can find."
We will head over to where evidence is kept at. Making sure that they are taken or tamped with. Hearing that has happened before. Getting up from my chair and we walk down to the evidence room together. It isn't that fall from the record room. Knowing Clawhauser had to work there. When the city was divided in two. The walk over to the evidence room only takes us a few minutes. Seeing that Dina Norris is working. She's the mammal who keeps track of the evidence. Making sure nothing happens or getting evidence that an officer needs. She's thirty and is a Hartebeest. She's tall and slender having long legs, short neck, long narrow face, and long narrow ears. Her horns are slender curved slightly forward and outward. Then pointed back inwards. Bottom two-third has rings. Short golden brown fur. Her tail has black tips and light brown eyes.
"Hello, officer Wilde and Hopps." Dina said, "What can I do for you two?"
"Hello Dina, we need to take out evidence." Nick said, "We are taking the Attacker and Murder case"
"I will get that out for you." Dina said
She heads over to where the evidence is being kept. Knowing where everything is and remembers what comes in here. She has told us that she has a great memory. That helps her out and does her job well. She comes back to us a minute later. Seeing that she has a plastic bag for us. Nick and I see pieces of the red bandana. So it has been found on the other murdered victims. She paws me the bag.
"Thank you, and we will return this soon." I say
"I know you guys will. I can trust you." Dina said, "You two will solve this case."
"Thanks, Dina and we will." Nick said
Dina does trust us and has a group of cops she can trust. Knowing she had to work with a few bad cops and didn't like it. We walk back to our offices and sit down. Opening up the bag and take out one of the pieces. Looking at the red bandana piece. Wondering what this could mean. Seeing something written in black and looks like initials.
"Look it's Hilda Sharp initials." I say "The bandana could be a token of what he did."
"That does make sense." Nick said, "Having their name on the bandana and leaving a piece behind. Just because the mammal wants to."
He takes the bag from my paw and looks at it closely. That could be what this mammal is doing and doesn't seem too strange. We had to work with killers who had stranger tokens. Or hearing stories about that. Wanting to keep a piece of what they did to their victim. Makes me wonder why only predators. What about his prey victims? Why does he only attack them? We are still trying to figure this out.
"I can still smell her blood." Nick said, "He or she must have taken some blood from the victim. I don't like the smell of blood." I look over at him and see the look on his face. Not liking the look on his face it upset me. I give him a quick hug. Nick does have great smelling. Like how great my hearing is. He uses his smell to help on the job. I find that creepy and strange. We had to deal with deal with killers like this and we don't like it. Reminding me of that dangerous mammal we had to deal with. The memories are still in my mind and I don't like it. Nick grabs my paws and looks at me. Liking the calm look in his green eyes. It helps me calm down."Are you alright Judy?"
"I was just thinking about her." I say "Remembering what she did."
"I was thinking about her as well. We have nothing to worry about." Nick said
Nick's speaking the truth and everything fine now. We do think about that event from time to time and talk about it. He gives me a hug. Just like I gave him a one. This does help us out and glad we can do it. That time was hard for us. We were there for each other and got through it. Feeling better and we break away from each other.
"Thank you, Nick that helped me out." I say
"You're welcome, Judy you have helped me out many times. I will always return the favor." Nick said
He rarely calls me by my name. Knowing it's special or worried when he does. I have helped him out and changed his life for the better. I know and glad that I did. He has returned the favor many times. We have a great relationship with each other. I am glad for that as well. We will always be there for each other.
"Am glad for that." I say "Let's go of what we say. Until something else comes up or it's proven true."
"That sounds good to me." Nick said
We look at each piece of the bandana and they all have the same thing. Looks like our theories can work out. Let's hope we did figure it out and can work with that. Watching him put a piece of banana back in the large plastic bag. He puts the evidence inside his desk and locks it up. We will figure this out.
Even those we have little to go on. The Attacker and Murder case is going well for us. He or she hasn't attacked or killed in weeks. Knowing the mammal is waiting for the right moment. We know the mammal will do it again. We will be ready when he or she does. Knowing ZPD is on the case and doesn't want to be arrested. Wanting to do what he or she wants. We will stop whoever this mammal is.
The kidnapping case has a new lead we can take. Nothing has come up with Austin death. She makes sure that everything was perfect and wanted to kill him. This case has been going slowly and finding out more information as time goes by. Little by little, we are figuring out this case even more. Finding out what happened on the day or night they were taken. Their parents told us that when we were gathering around. Before we were given the news that Austin body was found. Elena was walking with her brother when she kidnapped them. She kidnapped them both. Maxine saw a woman needed help and her good heart leading her to help out her. Ready to call the police if anything goes wrong. She was darted and taken. Victor was helping the woman with a flat tire and would have called the cops as well. She darted him and broke his phone. The woman knows what she's doing and knows how to get away with it.
Chief Bogo wants us to figure out what happened to Krista. Wanting to know how it happened and how did the woman did it. If she had some help he wants us to find the mammal who did it. He wants her family to find out the trust. They deserve it and we will figure it out. Whatever we will we will tell them and they will finally have peace. Turning over to Nick and smile at him. I am proud of him and the memory of his medal ceremony is fresh in my mind. It was a great day and we had lots of fun. He loved my speech that I gave. Like he has bee proud of me when I honored. Loving his speech that he gives. Finding something new about Aurora. She knows Mayor Moss and we going to have dinner with her family. I can't wait for that. I just figure she knew her friends mother. I knew she was a paramedic and heard what happened to her. She told me she never blamed me.
"Our witness is ready to talk now." Nick said
"Lets head over there and find out what happened." I say
We are over at Zootopia Heartcrest Medical Hospital. This where she died when she wasn't supposed to die. Her life would have been different and she would have learned to adapt to her new life. From what I heard she was a smart and determined woman. She wouldn't have given up and would have become a special ed teacher. Wouldn't let her injury weight her down. Just like with Felicia she wouldn't let her injury weight her down. She was depressed for a bit and that makes sense. I know how depression feels since it runs in my family. What would I do if I couldn't be a cop anymore? I have been injured before on the job and recovered from those injuries. I know that can happen and should think another career choice if it ever comes down to that. I already have the perfect one and still can help mammals and make the world a better place.
We walk over where we have our meeting. The mammal we wanted to talk who was busy with her job. So we decided to wait and know a doctors job is very important. Seeing Dr. Holloway is waiting for us. She's a rabbit just like me and a great doctor. Like what happened to me mammals said she couldn't do her job. Since she's a rabbit and should be a farmer. She proved them wrong by saving a life of an important mammal. Proving she's a great doctor and hardly anyone questions her. Just like with me. She's a great doctor and has been there for when we got injured on the job. We are good friends with each other. She the doctor who took care of Holly. She's taller than me by four inches and is slender. Long hind legs and long black tip ears. Having russet brown fur with patches of white. Hazel eyes and black glasses. Wearing some doctor scrubs.
"Hello Trinity, how did the surgery go?" I ask "It's nice to see you again."
"Hello, Nick and Judy it's nice to see you as well." Trinity said, "The surgery went well thanks, for asking."
That's good to hear and know she saved a life. She loves her job even when it can get hard. She has lost patients before. That feeling never goes away. Like when we can't save someone life or stop a crime from happening. It's a feeling you will never get used to. Since bad stuff always has in life. You got to keep on going no matter what happens. We know she wasn't the doctor assigned to the surgery. She's want to help us out and the first to come out to us. There's another mammal we are going to see. Knowing she has good information.
"I understand why no one wants to give out this information." Nick said, "Tell us what you know."
"This hospital has been through a lot and won't let us this ruin us. More bad stuff has happened at this hospital and it's still here today." Trinity said, "Dr. Kerr first name is Latasha. She was the doctor to do her surgery. She's a great doctor and we heard that she died during surgery. She told me off when I tried to talk to her. She left before I could talk to her. Then we found out what truly happened."
I write down what she tells us. We have to talk to Latasha Kerr and see what she has to say. We have to know what happened and she has the information that we need. Something happened during the surgery and we will figure it out.
"Do you think something was up with her?" Nick asked
"Yes, I do think something is up. She wouldn't talk to anyone and left after surgery. No one has seen her since then." Trinity said, "She hasn't been at work. No one has seen her at her apartment. Only answers to calls. So something is up."
Trinity tells us where she lives and we will stop by there. Also telling us about her car. Something is up with this and we will figure it out. Wanting to figure out what happened to Krista and tell her family what happened. If Latasha Kerr has done something she has to be brought to justice. A doctor purpose is to save lives and not take them away. If she a bad one we have to arrest her. Before she can harm anyone else. Of course, we don't know what happened. We have to figure it out first.
"We will look into that." I say "Thanks, for this information."
"I am happy to help out. Krista was a nice and didn't deserve to be killed." Trinity said, "Do you think she helped the kidnapper? It doesn't seem like her."
"Krista was a nice mammal." Nick said, "We don't know and will figure it out."
"I know you guys will figure it out." Trinity said
We get up from the chairs and head out. The other mammal we have to talk to works here as well. She's a fourth-year medical student. Knowing her name is Reyna Meyer. She has a shift right now and knows we are going to talk to her. We are going to met at the cafe. Walking over there takes us a few minutes and see that she's waiting for us. Reyna is the same age as me and an arctic fox. She's short and slender. Wearing dark blue scrubs Long narrow muzzle and long black tip ears. White fur with patches of brown and black. Having black around light blue eyes. Having a ring on her paw and know she has a family.
"Nick Wilde, I can't believe it's you." Reyna said, "It has been some time when I last saw you."
"Yes, it has been awhile." Nick said, "I see that you are doing well."
"I am doing well and working hard." Reyna said, "It's nice seeing you as a cop. I know you are doing a lot of good for the city."
Looking over at Nick and see he's happy to see her. Seeing that she's happy to see him as well. So they do know each other. She must be an old friend of his. He told he had friends and lost contract with. Nick has told he knows everyone in Zootopia. I find that highly unlikely. Watching her walk over to Nick and gives him a quick hug. Seeing that Nick is taken by surprise. They know each other well. They break away from each other a few moments later.
"My name is Judy Hopps." I say "It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you as well Judy." Reyna said, "I will tell you what I know."
We take a seat at a table. I take out my carrot pen and notepad. Opening up a notepad and open a new page. Writing her name on top and ready to write down what she has to tell us. She was the last mammal to see her leave.
"So what happened?" Nick asked
"I was assigned to help her out. She told me I was going to help her and told me the time. By the time I got there it was too late. The patient was already dead. I saw her go into surgery. I was ready to help her out and could have done it. I had lots of training and a top student. That's why I am working at this hospital." Reyna said, "I decided to ask her why she didn't wait for me. I wanted to know the reason why. She lashed out at me and I dumped warm coffee on my face. Before she ran off and haven't come back. I could only smell the coffee for a few hours."
"This good information." I say "Did she act strange or another mammal was with her?"
"I want to help you guys out." Reyna said, "She was perfectly normal before the surgery. She knew that she could do it. Ready to save Krista life. After the surgery, she completely changed. As if she was another mammal. Even being rude to me when I was trying to visit her. I was suppose to help her out. So I have no idea bout that."
"Something did happen and we will figure it out." Nick said, "I know you could have saved her."
"Thank you, Nick your words are so kind. I heard it on the news and it's sad." Reyna said, "I know you two can do it."
Nick is right about that she would have saved her. Reyna is a top student in her class. Knowing she's doing well and will be a great doctor. Despite being a fox and others won't trust her with their life. Closing the notepad and put it where it belongs. We have the information we need from them. Now we just got to talk to Dr. Kerr. We will find her no matter what.
"Thanks, for helping us out." Nick said, "Now we will talk to the doctor."
"Find her and do whatever you have to. Something is up with her." Reyna said, "Nick, we should grab a cup of coffee and catch up."
"That sounds great." Nick said quickly "I'll give you a call when I have some free time."
He takes out his phone and shows her his number. It must have changed over the years. He types her number into his phone. Putting his phone away a few moments later. It's nice to meet one of his old friends.
"Then I'll see you later and nice meeting you Judy." Reyna said, "It was nice seeing you again Nick."
"It was nice seeing you again." Nick said
"Nice meeting you as well." I say
We get up from the chairs. We shake paws and she gives Nick another quick hug. Before she heads off and heads back to work. We will be heading back to work as well. Talking to Dr. Kerr and get her side of the story. Whatever that is and if she has a part in Krista death. Nick and I walk together heading back to our car.
"We were good friends when we were growing up." Nick said, "We lost contract with each other about three years ago."
"I could see that," I say "you found each other again. That's good news."
"It is good news." Nick said, "Now let's head over to where Dr. Kerr is. Or we have to find her."
Opening the door and we head outside. It's a nice clear and warm day. Just like the day we had yesterday. Nick still driving and I head to the passenger side. We buck in and he drives a few moments later. We drive for a bit until I find something off. Catching her license plate and see her car is parked in a parking lot.
"Nick, do you see that?" I ask "It's her car at that parking lot."
"I do see that and looks like she's not home." Nick said, "Let's head over to her and have a chat."
He turns on the turn signal and we turn over to the right. It only takes us a few minutes to get over to her car. Looks like she's shopping for food or just waiting here. Nick finds a parking spot and we walk over to her car. Seeing that she's in the car. She does see or respond to us. Nick heads over to the driver side and puts his paw on the door handle.
"Looks like it's unlocked." I say "Something isn't right about this."
"You are right about that." Nick said
Not liking the look on his face. He knows something is up I see the look on his face. He opens the door moments later. I understand why he feeling this way. I smell it the moment he opens the door. The smell is bad and he must have smell it once we got to the parking lot. Dr. Kerr is dead.
A crime scene has been placed around the parking lot. We called this in and one was set up quickly. From the video, we got her car has been here for days. No one was bothered to check up on the car. Meaning the crime scene was messed up and we couldn't find anything. Or in our case, she wouldn't leave anything behind. Still there always a chance that she did and we lost that. They figured she was homeless or something like that. If she didn't cause any trouble it wasn't a problem to them. I wished that they did report this in. Otherwise the crime scene wouldn't have been messed up. Mammals will find out what happened and not good for business.
Only her body is in good condition. Sara Diaz is looking over her body. She's chief medical examiner. She's thirty-nine and an African civet. She's short and slender. Stumpy front legs and large hindquarters. Wide head with pointed muzzle. Small brown eyes and small round ears. Black streak across her face. White on her forehead and sides of her her muzzle. Prominent white steaks with black from her shoulders to the back of her ears. Rusty-brown fur with black spots and splodges. Legs, paws, and upper side of her bushy tail are black, with five incomplete white rings. Wearing her medical examiner outfit.
Looking over at Dr. Kerr. She was thirty-six and a Maned wolf. She was taller than Nick and slender. Having extremely long thin legs. Long pointed muzzle and large erect ears. She had golden red fur black around her muzzle and lower legs are black. A mane-like stripe of black fur from the back of her head to her shoulders. Throat, inside of her ears, and tip of her tail is white. She was wearing a black sweater and brown pants.
"The kidnapper must have killed her so she wouldn't speak." I say "Or maybe she was threatened by her. Still killing her at the end."
"That makes a lot of sense." Nick said, "We just have wait and see."
We don't know what happened. There can be many reasons for this to happen. We have seen or heard of it before. Sara is great at what she does and that's why she chief medical examiner. Having a strong scent of smell helps her out. We are letting her do her job. Knowing she will find something for. Dr. Kerr body is in bad shape. Looking over at her and see that she is done.
"So how did it go?" I ask
"She died of a shot to the head. She died before she hit the floor." Sara said, "The killer took the bullets from her head. Base off the wounds I say it's a type of pistol. Hard to tell without bullets. The killer is tall as the women and shot from two feet away."
"She knows how to cover her tracks well." Nick said, "How long has she been dead for?"
This woman does know how to cover her tracks well. Taking the bullets from her so she couldn't be traced. A smart woman who's very skilled. We will find her despite that. Nick and I are great at what we do. No matter what happens we will catch the bad guy. Sara is great at what she does she can see the type of gun the wound came from. She has been dead for a bit. Seeing and smelling how bad her body is.
"I can tell the body in bad shape. I can see and smell it. She has been dead for a day and two weeks." Sara said, "She was dead before the surgery even started."
I figured she has been dead for a few days. Since her car was parked here. Never would I thought she has been dead for two weeks. Looking over at Nick and he's taken by surprise as well. The information we got from them. She wouldn't talk to anyone after the failed surgery. They did tell us she was acting strangely. That she didn't return to work after the surgery. Only hearing her voice and not herself. It all makes sense now.
"So the woman killed her and did the surgery." I say "So she could kill her and place the blame on her."
"Making sure she wasn't discovered. That's why she dumped coffee on Reyna. Knowing she would discover she's not herself. Keeping the illusion that she was still alive. Until the truth was discovered." Nick said, "Then she dumped her body. Making it look like she did it herself."
"That is true," Sara said, "I'll put her body in the morgue. Her family can pick her up later."
Dr. Kerr was never married and has a family. Sara will talk to the family for us. Knowing we are busy with our jobs. Telling them we can talk to us anytime. We will find the time to talk to them. Giving any information we can. Seeing that Nick's on his phone and know he's talking to her family. I can hear them. They are happy to get some news. We still don't know who this woman is. Yet because of what happened, we know something more. She has to be the same height as her otherwise it won't have worked out. Also had to looke a lot like her. Sara has placed her body in a black bag. Ready to take her to the morgue. Opening up my notepad and flip to her page. We have little things on her. We are discovering more about her. Like she's a smoker Aurora told us that. We will discover who this woman and arrest her. Finding them and finally bring them home. Nick walks over to me.
"They are happy to have this news. Feeling bad for the doctor. Now knowing she played no part in their daughter's death." Nick said, "She has another death on her paws."
"Yes, she does and won't stop until we find her." I say "We are figuring her out slowly."
Placing the notepad away and put my pen back as well. There are still reporters here. Wondering what happened here. They are bugging Sara right now. Trying to get information from her. She's keeping her cool and tells them information she can. Placing her body in the back of the van and drives off moments later. Knowing they will come to us in a few minutes. Asking us questions about what happened. After the bad press conference, I have gotten better. Not wanting a moment like that to happen again.
"Looks like they are coming to us." Nick said, "Sara didn't give them all that they wanted."
Looking over at them and they are walking over to us. Before they can even get close to us. My phone rings and I pick it up. Seeing that it's Chief Bogo. Not wanting to skip this call. He would not like it and I know something is up. I pick the call up and walk away from them. Knowing Nick can handle them.
"Hello, Chief Bogo we have finished up the crime scene. We will tell about what we found later. Not wanting you know who to get facts they shouldn't know." I say "Did something come up? Otherwise, you wouldn't have called."
"Reporters can be nosy and seem to get information that they shouldn't know. I'll be waiting for that." Chief Bogo said, "Yes, something came up and it's bad. There has been another kidnapping. I know it links to your case. Get over to the location and figure out what happened."
"Will do Chief Bogo." I say "We will leave right now. Now can save my partner from the nosy reporters."
"That's good to hear." Chief Bogo said, "I'll give you the location."
I hang up my phone and see the message. Seeing that kidnapping took place at another park. Just like what happened to Aurora. This time it was at Ivy Park. Close to the apartment building Nick used to live at. The park only a few blocks away. Looking at him and see that's he annoyed with the reporters. They are still asking him questions. I will set him free now walking over to him. Seeing that they are from the press conference.
"Officer Hopps, what do you think about this."
"Nothing to say. We have to return to duty." I say
They ask questions at once and hard to hear them. We have to go now. Taking his arm and we walk back to our car. He happy to be away from them. Watching them walk off and we enter our car. Looking at Nick and he lets out a sigh.
"Thanks, Carrots you saved me from them. They were asking too many questions." Nick said, "So what do we have?"
"We look out for each other. A kidnapping happened at Ivy Park." I say "I know you used to leave near there."
"So it has to deal with our case. Let's head over there right now." Nick said, "Yes, I did and went to that park a lot."
We head over to the crime scene. Yellow tape has been placed up. Seeing that there's a worried Arctic vixen. She was the one to make the call. Seeing that a fellow officer is with her. Knowing her name is Beryl Bates. She's forty-four and an arctic wolf. Tall and slender having pure white fur and light blue eyes. I don't like her not after what she did. She broke Sean heart when she had an affair with another wolf. Her karma was he left and took their twins with him. He never knew she was married and was new to Zootopia. From what I been told she has been branded a lone wolf. Meaning she won't have a mate again. We just work with each other and nothing more than that.
"I'm guessing you were the closest officer to take the call." I say "You may leave now. This is our case."
"Don't be so tense Judith. Same for you Nicholas. I was helping out the poor woman." Beryl said, "Anyway the smoke is bothering."
She coughs and it is bad. I don't like when she calls me by full name. She doesn't mean it and harsh when she says it. Same thing for Nick. She doesn't like either. Knowing she thinks we shouldn't be cops. Not worthy to work along with her. There are some cops like that. She's waiting for us to mess up and that would prove that not everyone can be cops. Like I messed up with the missing mammal case. Sean defended me and told me she has messed up big as well. That's why she only a patrol officer. She was Felicia partner when she was a cop. Her partner Scott Kramer doesn't think the same way. He's a rookie and only has been working for seven weeks. He's good at what he does. Knowing he's waiting for her return so they can return their duty.
"Return to your partner. We don't want the smoke to ruin your health." Nick said, "By the way, the victim looks she didn't tell you a thing. So you didn't help her out."
"I leave you two to your duty then." Beryl said
She leaves us without another word. There are mammals you just can't work with and she's one of them. Nick feels the same way about her. Seeing a young Arctic vixen and looks to be a young adult. Having a long sleeve gray shirt with a nice color design and jeans. She's tall as Nick and slender. Having long pointed muzzle. Long pointed black tip ears and blue eyes. Fur is white with a mixer of brown and gray.
"Sorry about that." I say "My name is Judy Hopps and this is my partner Nick Wilde."
"That's alright and I only wanted to talk to you. I have heard about what you two have done. My name is Joanna Webster and twenty-five." Joanna said, "It was my son Casey who was kidnapped he's only nine."
"So he was taken from this park." Nick said, "Can you tell us what happened?"
"I will tell you what happened."
Getting out my notepad once again. Flipping to where I am keeping the information case. Nick already has one as well. Just in case anything happens or we need a backup. Joanna tells us her story. They live in the same apartment his mother lives. Living a few doors down from her. She has chatted with them and they get together. Telling her they were having a normal day at the park. When she got a call and had to take it. The moment she held him scream she dropped everything. Finding the woman kidnapping her son. She shot a dart gun at her and woke up a few minutes later. Both of them were gone. We tell her about the case as well.
"Did you see what the woman looked like?" Nick asked kindly "Any information will help us out."
"Sorry, it was all a blur. I had to get my son back. Only that she was taller than me. It was hard telling who she was. By the clothes, she was wearing. The only thing I got she was wearing a diamond ring on a silver chain." Joanna said
"This information will help us." I say "Do you have a picture of your son?"
"Yes, I do and I'll give you one." Joanna said, "He's a hybrid and I adopted him. I heard two of kidnapped victims were hybrids. Just like him."
So that's why he was taken. Aurora was taken because she was a hybrid. Wanting her for that and another reason. Austin was taken as pawn and she dumped him. His death has been on the news. Still trying to figure this out. Now having something new to think about. She took him for a reason and wanted him. Taking him in daylight and with his mother around. Just like she wants Aurora. This kidnapping has been on the news and will be in the news again. Mammals do know what's going on and wonder who this mammal is. The missing mammal case was big as well and affect lots of mammals. Who have or still recovering from what happened.
She digs into her purse and paws me a photo. Nick and I look at the picture. He's short and slender. Silver fur with patches of cinnamon red and white underparts. White head with patches of silver and red. Black around her long muzzle. Long pointed black tip ears with patches of cinnamon red. His upper side of his bushy tail is silver with sprinkles of red and black tip. Gray and blue-gray eyes. Red flannel shirt and navy blue jeans.
"We will give back to you as soon as we can." Nick said, "You can meet the other families who are connected to this case. They are kind mammals and will help you out. Only one is harsh and won't like you. His name is Paul Beck."
"Thank you, Nick and I will take to them." Joanna said, "I understand and have dealt with haters."
She takes the piece of paper. Knowing they will help her out as well. They have been helping out each other. She will feel welcomed with there. Only having Paul to worry about who hates foxes. She places the piece of paper in her bag.
"We will give any information when it comes up." I say "You can come to the station or talk to us. We will find the time."
"That's good to hear and I will." Joanna said, "Find my son and the others."
"We will try our hardest and won't give up." Nick said "Have a chat with my mother. She will help you out."
"Thank you, officer Wilde and I will." Joanna said, "Your mother talks a lot about you. She's proud you and I can tell why."
She walks away from us. I can tell that she's hurting and it hurts me. I see it hurts Nick as well. His mother raised him by herself when his father left. None of them should have been kidnapped. Yet they were she chose them for a reason. We will figure this out and find them. Looking over at his picture again. Nick looks at it as well and sighs.
"I know you see it as well." Nick said, "He looks a lot like Aurora."
"I saw that the moment we got the photo." I say "She took him for that and another reason. She will want Aurora back."
"We won't let that happen." Nick said, "Let's head back to the station."
Casey does look a lot like her. She would have a twin brother if he wasn't a stillborn. We walk back to our patrol car. Ready to head back to the station and tell Chief Bogo about what we found. Knowing he wants to know what we found out. Before we can get inside our car. I can see a white envelope with my name on in. First with this kidnapping and now with Margret. Why did it have to be today? I was wondering when I was going to get my next letter. I guess it's today and wants me to read it. Meaning she was here and left it on the windshield. Nick doesn't speak I know he hates this. Wondering what will be in this letter and he wonders as well. Taking it off and open it.
Dear Judy Hopps, ZPD First Rabbit Officer
I know it has been some time since the last letter. Hearing about what my he did and laughed. I knew his hate would get him into trouble. I just knew that. I also heard my little nephews were born and you were they. They are cuties and would love them. If I had any love for my family. Which I don't or never did. I am different and I like it. Crime thrills me and glad to be a part of it. Your two friends, Rosemary Murphy and Nora Ebert I like them a lot. Just like I like you. I wonder if they can get close to me. Pinning the murder on me. I am ready and will not be found easy. It would be a shame if something happened to them. I could kill Nora and would do it. As for Rosemary, I like her a lot more than Nora. She reminds me of you. How she was judged because she's a lemur. Anyway, I couldn't take away a twin. Not wanting to put Saffron through that pain. Which you still feel and always will. So I won't kill her if they get close. Suffering through her partner death will do.
I was busy for a reason. I have been helping a good friend. Or a criminal friend. I don't know if we are friends. But work together and like it. She lost something important to her and wants her back. So I have been looking for Aurora Winters. I know she's clever and knows how to blend in. I will find her and bring her back. Making sure she won't escape again. I know all about the kidnapped victims and the woman who has them. You know that I know them. Sometimes I help her out and I like doing that. After I knew who Mia was. Dog fox is a great officer. You tell him that. Too bad he couldn't save her. Of course, she wouldn't let that happen. I know she kidnapped a new victim named Casey Webster. A Mutt just like her. I don't know what she sees in them. I would have just killed them. No matter what I feel. I will find her and return her. I have this feeling you will see my first plan for you. I know you will have fun. I will have a lot of fun. You won't see me but I will see you.
Margaret, your firstHare Murder
Judy Hopps, ZPD First Rabbit Officer
I let out a sigh and don't like what she wrote to me. Nick doesn't either I see the look in his eyes. Reading the letter again and realize how bad this is. First, she's threatening our friends and we know she means it. We have to tell them about this. Second, she's helping out the kidnapper and she's not lying about it. The woman is looking for Aurora. Like always need and didn't want to think about. Making sure she's not the one to find her. Knowing Aurora will run from her. What makes her so sure that she won't from Margaret? Sure she never has spoken about her. We never asked her about it. Now we should ask her. Not liking what she could do to them. What she has done to Aurora. Since she knows her. The only good news they have no idea Aurora is safe with us.
